Of course, its not my first Christmas but it is the first Christmas without my Dad to share it with us! It will be different, and it certainly is a reminder of all those missing from our celebrations!
Dad will be sharing a first 'heavenly' Christmas with his sister and his sister-in-law who also left us this year but will have many others to make his day a happy one! His parents and many of his siblings, his three grandsons and many others are now seasoned celestial party-goers and are sure to show him the ropes.
I'm also sure that he will be sharing his love with all of us here. He would want us to celebrate with laughter and love and lots of merriment...the way it has always been! He taught us to appreciate the life we have and always made Christmas Day special!
So someone else will have to carve the meat this year! And, although we will all enjoy Mum's Christmas pudding, no-one will ever enjoy it as much as he did! Another chair will be missing from our table and another hug will be gone from our Christmas greetings but my Dad will be looking down upon us with love and pride! He did a great job!
